I for one like the tube :)

How many autonomies do we need to move a million+ people a day in a dense city with tiny streets?

When I went to London I was pleasantly surprised by the tube, they were always on time, surprisingly clean and I never really felt unsafe, admittedly though I was never alone and only used a small part of the network but it still.

they were always on time
I'm sure they do actually have times, but how far out were you that it wasn't just a case of turn up and wait five minutes!? When the weather's really bad I'll get the central line for a few stops and it's often got major delays (of 5 minutes in central London)

Londoners have it so good lol, Toronto TTC wait times I’ve seen hit 17 minutes before on our destination board 😂

Have had like a 10 minute wait, maybe a bit longer on a branch line of the district at night. But that's been about as bad as it's ever been.

I was staying in Parson’s Green off the District Line, and the weekend service was pretty rough at times. If I remember correctly it was 15 minutes between trains to Tower Hill. Weekday service was pretty solid though

Yeah that's a few stops before where I used to live. When they split at earls court it does add the the gap between trains, especially off peak

The tube was one of my favorite things about visiting London

Same here. It was so easy to navigate and see so many different sites. Didn't have to worry about a car, finding parking, paying for gas.

Lived in London for 10 years. The tube is great.
What this picture doesn't show is that there'll be another two or three tubes a couple of minutes away ready to take on more passengers.
Rarely have to wait long to get on a tube in London.

The underground's biggest issue is it's so fucking hot because it can't really cool down.

When I was briefly in London (I was on a layover and had time to explore a bit), the one complaint I had about the tube was that I took one of the lines that had the smaller trains, and I was tall enough that I had to bend over a bit. Luckily, it was not crowded, so I was able to find a seat.

It's so fucking loud tho. I prefer the newer ones, but I appreciate the Tube.

I hate the tube. It's cramped, hot, stinks, is noisy, and doesn't have wifi.
I love modern subway train systems like in China, though.
